When I was younger, I loved reading. I loved it so much that I would have rather stay inside and read than go outside and play with the neighborhood kids. I think that reading is a great way to not only expand ones vocabulary and grammar but also a great way to spend time with your little ones which is why I think you should check out Eebee’s Adventures books.

Eebee’s Adventures are a series of books featuring a puppet character the size of a 1-year-old named Eebee. The books are designed to engage you and your baby with rich play experiences that provide powerful lessons that memorizing letters, numbers, colors and shapes simply cannot do. Watching and, importantly, “doing” eebee’s adventures will allow you and your baby to see and learn first-hand what happens when you explore a crinkly, crunchy, smooth and bumpy paper mountain or roll, bounce, bop, bang, slide and toss your way around a world of balls and ramps. We know that when your child is playing, she is actively trying to figure things out about objects and people—why did that ball roll and the block slide? How did he do that? Why did that happen?… The questions, theories and solutions just continue to evolve as your child develops and masters a myriad of critical physical, social and intellectual skills—playing and learning about how the world works and he works in it. Every parent can recount a time when their infant headed straight for that curtain to give it a pull; or happily opted to tear the wrapping paper rather then engage with the gift; or tried and tried to get the round peg into the square hole; or simply offered you whatever was in their hand.

I received a copy of Here to There: An Up, Down, and All-Around Adventure and All About Me and You: Head-to-toe Adventures for your baby.

Here to There: An Up, Down and All-Around Adventure is the ideal book for the intrepid and adventurous toddler. The book features up, down and all around adventure activities for active toddlers who are discovering stairs, slides and anywhere and everywhere hide and seek games. Here to There provides parents with exciting and entertaining ideas to help develop motor skills and independence and features adorable babies and eebee. Here to There is for ages 6 months and up.

All About Me and You: Head-to-toe Adventures is about eebee’s body and your baby’s body, too. Each page is an interactive board game, designed especially for babies. Fold-out the book-sized mirror to ‘look and play’ along with eebee. Start anywhere. . . go anywhere! Look in the mirror! Invent your own playful games! Exercise your baby’s social, motor, language, and thinking skills, and explore baby’s body from head to toe!

The books are completely hardcover so there is no need to worry about the little one messing up the pages. The books use simple words and phrases that a young baby or child can understand like “what a funny face,” “give eebee a kiss,” “under the blanket,” and “on the blanket.” They also feature colorful and bright illustrations and pictures so that your young reader has a visual of what Eebee wants him or her to do; by pairing a visual with written description, young readers are more likely to understand the concept being presented in front of them. By reading books like eebee’s adventures to your toddler they will

Take initiative and act on their natural curiosity

Make clear choices among different materials and experiences

Vary their strategies and try different approaches

Persist at a goal and stick to a task

Share their discoveries and seek social interaction

I absolutely adore these books and know that my two year old cousin, Zoey, will as well. Even though, she is an older toddler she is still young enough to find fun in the simple concepts that eebee presents in his adventures. It also will help her to make a better connection between what she sees in the book and her actions in real life. Research is clear that the best way for babies and toddlers to grow and strengthen their skills is to play and that is exactly what eebee offers! Eebee is featured in a variety of book adventures as well as on DVD, toys, music and clothing. You can find eebee adventure books at book stores like Barnes & Noble nationwide and on the eebee website. Eebee’s Adventures
